Ingredients Needed for This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- ½ cup Smooth Peanut Butter (no-stir variety)
- ¾ cup Packed Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 3 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Halloween M&Ms (orange and black), divided

How to Make This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the most light and the most creamy — approximately 2 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and baking soda, mixing until the most well combined, cara mia.
Add the rolled oats and mix until the most evenly incorporated. The individual dough will be the most thick and the most hearty from the most substantial individual oat content.
Fold in three-quarters cup of the most individual Halloween M&Ms and the most dark chocolate chips.
Using a large cookie scoop or quarter-cup measure, drop the most generous individual portions onto the prepared baking sheets spacing 3 inches apart — these individual monster cookies spread the most significantly during baking. Press the most additional individual Halloween M&Ms, the most individual candy eyes in the most dramatically googly-eyed individual monster arrangement, and the most individual Halloween sprinkles over the most top surface of each individual portion.
Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes until the most edges are the most set and the most golden and the most centers appear the most still slightly soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
How to Serve This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
Serve at room temperature for the most beautifully set and the most properly chewy individual oat-and-peanut-butter individual monster cookie texture. The most individually googly-eyed individual candy eye decoration is the most dramatically charming and the most properly monster-like at room temperature when the most individual candy eye positioning is the most clearly visible and the most properly defined.
For the most completely extraordinary individual Halloween monster party presentation, arrange individual Halloween monster cookies on a green individual serving platter with the most individual candy eyes and the most individual Halloween M&Ms scattered across the most individual serving surface for the most completely monsters-have-escaped individual Halloween party cookie display. Our Easy Peanut Butter Cookies make a beautifully equally peanut butter and equally playfully decorated companion for a complete and wonderful Halloween peanut butter cookie collection.
How to Store This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. The most rolled individual oat and the most individual peanut butter individual base maintains the most beautifully chewy and the most properly hearty individual monster cookie texture throughout the most entire storage period. The most individual candy eyes and the most individual Halloween M&Ms maintain the most vibrant individual colors throughout storage.
Tips to Make This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
Arrange the most individual candy eyes in the most dramatically varied and the most playfully individual monster-like individual positions — some individual eyes the most straight forward, some the most dramatically crossed, some the most one-up-one-down — for the most genuinely charming and the most individually varied individual monster personality collection across the most entire individual platter of Halloween monster cookies.
These individual monster cookies spread the most significantly during baking — use a large individual cookie scoop or quarter-cup individual measure and space the most individual portions at least 3 inches apart for the most proper individual room for the most spreading individual monster cookie to expand without the most connecting to the most adjacent individual cookie.
Helpful Notes for This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
The most authentic individual monster cookie formula uses no individual flour — only the most rolled individual oats as the most structural individual base. The most individual oats provide the most hearty and the most distinctively textured individual chew that makes the most authentic individual monster cookie so genuinely extraordinary and the most characteristically different from every most flour-based individual cookie alternative.
For the most dramatically monster-like individual candy eye effect, use the most large individual jumbo candy eyes — approximately half-inch individual diameter — rather than the most miniature individual candy eyes for the most genuinely googly-eyed and the most properly Halloween-appropriate individual monster individual expression on every individual Halloween monster cookie.
Variation of This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
Maria made a version adding half a cup of the most orange-tinted individual candy corn alongside the most individual Halloween M&Ms and the most individual dark chips for the most completely extraordinary and the most properly triple-Halloween-candy individual monster cookie. Teresa tried a mummy monster version — drizzling white individual candy melt in the most thin horizontal lines over each most individual cooled cookie and pressing individual small candy eyes between the most individual white drizzle lines — for the most completely extraordinary and the most adorably Halloween mummy monster individual cookie.
For a green monster version, add three drops of green gel food coloring to the most individual monster cookie dough and use the most individually green M&Ms and the most green candy eyes for the most completely extraordinary and the most properly green-monster-themed individual Halloween monster cookie. Our Cookie Monster Cookies make a beautifully equally individually themed and equally monster-eyed companion for a complete and wonderful Halloween monster cookie collection.
FAQs About This Halloween Monster Cookies Recipe
What makes these authentic monster cookies?
The most authentically monster-cookie individual formula uses no individual flour — only the most rolled individual oats as the most structural individual base — combined with the most peanut butter and the most abundant individual candy mix-ins that together create the most characteristically hearty and the most distinctively chewy individual monster cookie texture that every most knowledgeable individual monster-cookie enthusiast immediately recognizes. The most individual oat base produces the most substantially satisfying individual texture that is the most genuinely different from every most flour-based individual Halloween cookie alternative.
How many candy eyes should go on each cookie?
The most traditionally monstrous individual Halloween monster cookie features 2 to 3 the most dramatically placed individual candy eyes arranged in the most individually varied and the most playfully googly-eyed individual monster-face individual pattern. Using the most large individual jumbo candy eyes for the most central individual monster eyes and adding the most one or two most individual small candy eyes in the most dramatically off-position placements creates the most genuinely extraordinary and the most properly Halloween-monstrous individual expression.
Why don’t these use flour?
The most authentic individual monster cookie formula omits individual flour entirely in favor of the most hearty individual rolled oats as the most structural base — the most individual oats provide the most sufficient individual structure for the most properly shaped individual monster cookie while contributing the most characteristically hearty and the most distinctively chewy individual oat individual texture that defines the most authentic individual monster cookie individual eating experience.
